For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am 5 ft 5 in & 158. I fight hypothyroidism & Hashimoto's & have also gone through 5 years of fertility medicines. My usual weight is 138. My doctor & I didn’t care to get me down to that weight - we were hoping for high 140s, something a bit safer due to being pre-diabetic & high cholesterol. With menopause knocking on my door, weight loss is near impossible (I even work with a trainer 3 times a week!). Anyway, this medicine was BRUTAL for me. I had the same experience as someone above: slept like a rock (I usually wake up at 6 am, but couldn’t get up until 8:30 am), started craving & eating JUNK that I’d never eat before, chills, fatigue, some nausea & my breasts weren’t swollen but they were incredibly sore to the point where I couldn't sleep on my belly. I was SO ineffective & lazy (which isn't me), I stopped the medication because I had also GAINED 4 pounds in 1.5 weeks. (I only took it for 9 days!). The withdrawal after only 9 days has me with horrific vertigo. Ugh. AWFUL. So glad I’m off it."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Belviq this morning at 7:15 a.m. I am extremely cold. I am not too concerned about it right now. So far, so good. I am hoping I have no more side effects. It's really too early to tell."
